I don't know jmk, not much worse than most of the Asian imports of late.

But then...it's still UGH! :)

The lines on the coupe kind of reminds me of the Lexus IS. Looks like a cross between that and a Scion.

[Jeffbx]

Pontiac G6?

I got the Scion vibe too from the front end.

[Full Monty]

I get a Camry/Avalonish vibe from this. Looks like they're imitating Toyota sedan-type looks. Too bad.

[Cheesypuff]

i was thinking the front looked like a bimmer.


i don't like the look.

I hate this game (what it looks most like) because, of course car manufactures want to follow "the look" but I agree. It definitely looks like a Toyota (Toyota, Lexus, Scion)

The coupe does look a bit better in those pics.

[bachviet]

I like the sedan better than the 7gen sedan (2003-2007). The coupe actually looks pretty good and the interior looks nice.

[ShawnLee]

I hate to say it, but it almost looks... Korean...

[brainsmile]

sedan side view is hideous

[Jeffbx]

:stupid:

& I think the coupe looks like the G6 coupe, too. Everyone's starting to make all of the cars look alike! Can't anyone be original anymore???

[JaQnAbOx]

i think it looks alot like the current Acura RL. My cousins 2003 Accord coupe looks like my 2000 TL. I wouldnt be surprised if most of the inspiration came from Acura designs

[yippiekiyeh]

So much for sleek, looks more like big and bulky. Plus the upper end ones sport the 3.5L engine, so much for fuel economy...

that's what i was thinking.
coupe resembling tiburon
sedan resembling sonata. those rear tail-lights especially.

[JaQnAbOx]

maybe the sonata looks like the accord. it did in the past. Ive seen concepts/designs at the kia/hyundi design facility in Orange County and it looks like kia/hyundi get their inspiration from other car makers

You mean Hyundai copied the 2003-2007 Accord sedan taillights and put them on the Sonata.

[DaFunkyUnit]

the new Nissan Altima looks like an Infiniti G35
the new Toyota Camry looks like a Lexus ES
and now the new Honda Accord looks like an Acura TL

no, actually honda copying hyundai's rear taillights:

honda simply took away the extra red on the hood, and made the angle a little steeper.

[bachviet]

Hyndai copied the 2004 Honda Accord taillights first and changed it ever so slightly.

[attgig]

ahhh. you're right.

[BlueTriangle]

I don't like it. nope. I usually love hondas.
